Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

When we unite potassium, which has a valence number of +1, that means that it has da electron, we unite it with iodine, which has a valence number of -1. That is, the iodine accepts an electron.

We form potassium iodide.

The formula is:

K + I ---> KI

It is a balanced equation since it uses one atom of each (iodine and potassium) for the formation of the product.

K + I - > KI 
Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide 
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.

Why is gold considered matter?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and can't be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions. Gold, in this case, is an element so, therefore, it is considered matter.

Hope it helped :)

Use the kinetic energy equation to explain why speed has a greater impact on kinetic energy than mass.​
Lerok [7]

Answer: <em>Hopefully this helps! sorry if not. :))</em>

<em></em>

<em>Speed has a greater impact on mass because its increases in velocity have an exponentially greater impact on translational kinetic energy because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. Doubling an object's mass would only double its kinetic energy, however doubling its momentum would quadruple its velocity.</em>
